Synopsys Press

Synopsys Press, an imprint of Synopsys, Inc., offers leading-edge educational publications written by industry experts for the business and technical communities associated with electronic product design. A hallmark of both Series is the extensive peer review and input process, which leads to trusted, from-the-trenches information.

A book that dives deep into virtual prototyping as the key methodology to enable concurrent hardware/software development by decoupling the dependency of the software development from hardware availability. The ability to start software development much earlier in the design cycle drives a true "shift left" of the entire product development schedule and results in better products that are available earlier.

A manual that tackles the complexity of FPGA-based prototyping one step at a time. The FPMM identifies the three laws of prototyping and provides information on how they can be broken or overcome by using automation and a design-for-prototyping methodology to improve software quality and project schedules.The FPMM is available in both English and Japanese.

A text that defines a robust and scalable verification architecture that can be used to quickly setup and complete verification of low power designs. The methodology addresses all aspects of functional verification of power management functions, including suggestions for static versus dynamic verification, design-for-verification techniques, and use of assertions and coverage metrics to achieve rapid verification closure.
